The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) for caster says, "3 : any of a set of wheels or rotating balls mounted in a swivel frame and used for the support and movement of furniture, trucks, and portable equipment." Though no definition of a verb form was available, the key is "swivel." Our Ercoupe nose-gear does not swivel and therefore is not castering. It's not helpful to depend on arguments about castering for an instant, and only confuses matters.
